Hello! I'm Reyan, I am a Provisionally Registered Psychologist completing my supervised practice at Dragonfly. I am currently supervised by Melissa Foster, one of the Registered Psychologists at Dragonfly.   Nice to meet you :)

 

From a young age, I was acutely aware of the unique challenges faced by women. Growing up, I navigated the complexities of adolescence, peer relationships, and societal expectations, which profoundly influenced my empathy and understanding.​  This early exposure to life's emotional complexities sparked a deep interest in psychological support.  

 

These formative years inspired my passion for supporting others in navigating life's complexities.  My personal journey has shaped the way I connect with clients.  I have faced challenges related to self-esteem, identity, and belonging. These experiences, while often difficult, deepened my understanding of resilience, connection, and the importance of support, and the transformative power of therapy.

​

My appreciation for the power of human connection and the capacity for growth through meaningful relationships is truly what drew me to the counselling profession. I am inspired by the courage of those who seek to better understand themselves and their experiences. Witnessing the impact of a safe, supportive space in my own life motivated me to help others find clarity, healing, and empowerment in theirs.​​​​

​

A bit more about me, I had the opportunity to complete my internship with Dragonfly in 2024.  Through this experience, I had the privilege of supporting many girls and young women as they navigated challenges such as family dynamics, self-esteem, body image, anxiety, relationship issues, attachment styles, and stress and burnout. This experience further strengthened my passion for empowering clients to build confidence, resilience, and meaningful connections.

​

Additionally, with an understanding of the unique experiences many immigrants and racialized women face, I am passionate about working with those who may be carrying the weight of cultural expectations, navigating multiple identities, or trying to balance different worlds. Whether it’s feeling pressure to succeed, struggling with belonging, or carrying unspoken family responsibilities, these challenges deserve care and understanding.

​

Together, we’ll focus on building self-acceptance, strengthening relationships, and empowering you to move forward on a path of healing and growth. My approach is integrative, meeting you where you are and guiding you toward where you want to be. I provide tools for self-reflection and growth, and I encourage the exploration of personal values, including how culture, identity, and lived experience shape who you are.

​

My practice incorporates various therapeutic approaches, including Attachment Theory, Systemic Approaches, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. This integrative approach allows me to tailor my methods to the individual needs of my clients.​
